Beatrice M. Bodart-Bailey is professor of Japanese history and a founding member of the Department of Comparative Culture, Otsuma Women's University, Tokyo.
Tsunayoshi (1646-1709), the fifth Tokugawa shogun, is viewed by many as a tyrant. His Laws of Compassion, which made the maltreatment of dogs an offense punishable by death, earned him the nickname Dog Shogun. This work presents an analysis of Tsunayoshi's background, which sheds new light on his personality and his policies.
